Boston is a city with rich history, incredible sports (#5Rings), strong culture, different ranges of cuisine, and amazing accents that no southerner can compare to. If your from the west coast or another country there is no doubt you need a Bostonian in your life.

We are passionate people. From our dominating the NFL #TB12, MLB, NHL, NBA and so much more the fans really know how to show appreciation to the teams keeping Boston on the map. For instance this super bowl with all odds against New England they still came back in the 2nd quarter and brought the trophy home. Nevermind Tom Brady's famous 5 rings and Julian Edelman's legendary catch. With energy pumped up, fans still risked fingers and toes in the extreme wind and snow to catch a glimpse of the players, trophy and of course duck boats.

1. When you mess with one of us you mess with all of us.

Ever heard of a little thing called the Boston Marathon bombing? Yeah? #BostonStrong Enough said.


2. We are wicked smaht.

Try Harvard, MIT, Yale, Brown, and Dartmouth smart just to name a few. We are also home to Simmons, Wentworth, MassArt, Boston University, Boston College, Northeastern, Berklee, Emerson, Suffolk, Emmanual, Fisher, Wheelock, Tufts, Lasell, and many many more.


3. Italian and Irish decent.

You will never go home hungry due to the 4-course meals plus second helpings and we will insist that you take home leftovers, so just take the damn leftovers we have enough in our fridge.


4. We are great drivers.

You try and drive on the highway during rush hour in 7-10 feet of snow with only front wheel drive. Even if the speed limit says 55 mph we really mean you better be going 65 mph in the right lane aka slow lane or just get off the highway we don't have time to deal with you. Plus have you ever seen a map of Boston? Say less.


5. We accept everyone... almost.

Massachusetts is the first ever state in the Union to legalize gay marriages for nearly a decade now. Unless you are a Yankees fan you can stay. Beat that New York.


6. We are healthy.

We are the city that can beat cancer and cure that nasty rash you have all in one day. From Boston Children's Hospital to Lahey clinic our "bad hospitals" are another cities good ones. So if you get the flu this season you friend from Boston knows exactly where to take you.


7. Don't know how to pronounce a town name?

It's wicked easy for a Bostonian. For example Leominster it's pronounced lemon-ster. Not Leo-Minster. Another example is Billerica like Bill-rick-a. You got this. This goes back to navigation so don't you worry you will get from point A to point B in about 30 minutes.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
